====== Charles Rosen ======
If Diogenes of Sinope were sill engaged in his worldly quest to find an honest man he would doubtlessly have a broad smile on his face when he encountered Charles Rosen.  Dr Rosen’s efforts to re-establish integrity in spinal care and  a habit for “telling it like it is” have not always endeared him to every spine surgeon.  As the founder, and President, of the Association for Ethics in Spine Surgery he has, however, given heart to the majority of his colleagues who still place their patient’s best interests ahead of their own.  As a Clinical Professor of Orthopaedics at the University of California in Irvine Dr. Rosen has been in the right place for the right reasons. Unfortunately, the Healthcare community just seems to be now coming out of a pervasive period when many in the medical profession have forgotten the basic concepts upon which the practice of medicine was based and need to be reminded of this.  Hopefully, there are, and will continue to be many more Charles Rosens in our future to continue to remind us.
